Live(O) 1.2 Petrol MT costs ₹70,000 more than Live 1.2 Petrol MT and brings only ₹35,700 of equipment we can put a price on — about 51% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, Live 1.2 Petrol MT is the better buy.

We price the equipment that separates these two trims. The rest of the difference pays for things we don't itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin. An upgrade that clears 100% is one where the equipment alone is worth what it costs.

₹32,300 · 3 features

Most of it — ₹32,300 of the ₹35,700 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by 9-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment and Front Fog Lamps (Halogen). Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹70,000 this variant costs extra.

Of the equipment this variant adds, at our valuations. Which features count as fit-later is set per feature in the methodology.
